Razzano makes an awful volley into the net on BP.
Let the comeback begin.

All the seeds except Zheng (29) have gotten through today ...
Lindsay with a double bagel?

I've never seen Razzano play like she's playing now. It's unbelievable. And poor Martina is just clueless out there. I know! Bizarre. Hingis now hoping for the choke ... she did hit one of her signature DTL BHs this game ... now a BP ... she had Hingis YARDS behind the baseline, but then flubbed her volley! So a ray of hope for Hingi that VR is choking like Dani. |

One of the best parts of Hingis matches is watching Mel.
Razzano is just taking apart Martina's serve.

Virginie is playing so aggressively! Hingis has to step it up herself, and not wait passively for a choke!

Hingis' second serve has no place in the top 10. Virginie is feasting on it.

Congrats, Serena! Just about everyone here hates you, which makes me love you more than ever.  It's not your fault if lesser, bonier players still get intimidated and choke their guts out at the sight of you. Get to the final so you can torture the whiners on this board for two whole weeks!  I have no doubt that they wish a Hewitt-Murray final on you in return. If that's even possible.  Ha, yes, that would serve me right. ;D |

Hingi climbs back to deuce from 0-40 by playing with aggression (at last) ...

Well, Martina is going to make her serve it out at least ... ok, 40-15 ...

and we will have the moment of truth ... maybe two  6-2 5-2 ... |

I think Martina just got pissed off. It's 5-3 now and she's on a big run of points since going down 5-1. 15-0 already on her serve.

Virginie can no longer win a single point! Yikes! And Hingis suddenly getting her first serves in.

But even if she pulls it off, which seems very possible they way VR is playing now, how many rounds can she get away with this? Same thing happened in round one. |

Worry about the next rounds when they come, I say. |
